Atlanta Braves Left Hander Kyle Kinman

Who Is He?

Kinman was drafted in the 25th round of the 2014 draft out of Bellevue University in Nebraska. The Braves sent the lefty to advanced rookie Danville. He pitched in 19 games, throwing 29 2/3 innings with a 2.43 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and 6/43 BB/K. Needless to say, those numbers caught a lot of eyes in the Braves front office.
